Method

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • If using fresh peaches, slice them into thin wedges. If you opted for peach puree, have it ready.
   • Squeeze fresh lime juice into a measuring cup.
2. Muddle the Peaches:
   • In a cocktail shaker, add a few peach slices (about 2-3) and muddle them gently to release their juices. Be careful not to over-muddle; you want the flavors without turning it into a puree.
3. Add the Liquids:
   • Pour in the vodka, peach schnapps (or puree), and fresh lime juice into the shaker.
4. Shake It Up:
   • Add ice to the shaker, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This step chills the drink and blends all the flavors beautifully.
5. Strain and Serve:
   • Fill two copper mugs (or glasses) with ice and strain the mixture from the shaker into the mugs, dividing it evenly.
   • Top each mug with ginger beer and give it a gentle stir.
6. Garnish:
   • Add additional peach slices and a sprig of fresh mint to each drink for a lovely presentation.
7. Enjoy:
   • Sip and savor the delightful combination of peach and ginger!

Variations

• Spicy Ginger Peach Mule: Add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
• Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the vodka and schnapps with peach nectar and soda water for a refreshing mocktail.
• Herbal Twist: Infuse fresh basil or rosemary in place of mint for a different herbal flavor.

Tips and Substitutions

• Dietary Needs: For a lower-calorie option, use diet ginger beer and reduce the amount of schnapps or substitute it with more fresh fruit. If you’re gluten-free, ensure the vodka is made from gluten-free grains.
• Freshness Counts: Using fresh peaches and freshly squeezed lime juice enhances the flavor dramatically. Avoid bottled juices for the best results.
• Adjusting Sweetness: If the drink is too sweet for your liking, add a splash of soda water or extra lime juice to balance it out.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Sweet: If the drink is too sweet, increase the lime juice or add a splash of soda water to cut the sweetness.
• Flat Ginger Beer: Ensure your ginger beer is well-chilled and fizzy before adding it to the cocktail; flat ginger beer will alter the drink’s refreshing character.
